An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Creativity

(Pro 2:19 KJV)  None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

As I said, I am reading proverbs in the Legacy Standard Bible this month.  One of the benefits of reading different translations is it makes you more alert for little differences.  So I’m looking for how this translation is different from others, and I noticed that it started off with the statement of “all” who go, instead of “none” that go.  I noticed this because I read it on my iPad and I have two translations side-by-side.  That difference made me go to a listing of all the translations.  Every other translation, I have has the word “none".  Only the Legacy version goes with “all".

I guess I could stretch the idea of all to mean that everyone does not return, but when you read the whole paragraph, it has more of the idea that only some don’t return when it says all.

So?  Read with discernment.  God wants to speak to you.  Sometimes He can speak to you by jarring your mind and making you think because of conflict with controversies.
